consented to show herself to
her subjects on the 2lst of May,
surrounded by phalanx of soldiers
and police to obstruct the progress
of any stray bullets which happen
to be moving about.
The procession will be grand
one, of course, and will doubtless
wind up like the Emperor of China's,
as described in Marryatt's mot
Fredl Pacha of Many Tales. :
After all the grandees and fools had
passed, with the rest of his serene
highness' subjects men, women and
children singing praises to the beau
teous Euante, his serene highness,
the Son of the Moon and Stars, and
crying aloud for bread, after which
three old women, the spectators,
being so pleased with the glory and
magnifcence of what they had seen,
that they hung down their heads
and died. No less ridiculous will
be the procession in civilized Lon
don in honor of woman no less
cruel and selfish, though more intel
ligent than the old-time Chinese
Emperor described in Marryatt's &
numerous work.
Though not quite SO absurd, yet
equally reprehensible, will be the
antics of the British Benevolent SO.

A PITIFUL CASE.

Irish loyalists have passed. through crit
ical times but never till now have they found
an English statesman against them. '-Col.
onet Saanderson.
How pitiful is the case OF the poor Irish
loyalists and how hard and cr1el it is for
an English statesman to go against th m
What critical times they have had2 For
two centuries at least they have been the alb
solute masters of the properties, liberties
and lives of the Irish people while being
only about one fifth of the Irish population
The government of Ireland and all the fat
offices have been theirs In the double form
of rent and taxes they had and they still
have at their disposal nearly the whole earn
ings OF the people. That an English states
man for the first time in history should ques-
ton their claim to continue to thus oppress
and rob the mass OF Irishmen is in SAUN-
DERsoN's opinion great wrong. And it is
to men who think rs SAUNDERsoN does that
the working of the latest and the worst of all
the Coercion bills is to be entrusted with the
full sanction of " friends of freedom" like
